Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that it has sold more than 750,000 kilometers (km) of Corning® ClearCurve® multimode optical fiber. Broad market acceptance of ClearCurve multimode optical fiber is evident by the more than 4 million terminations globally deployed. ClearCurve multimode optical fiber has been sold to more than 80 cablers in 20 countries around the world.

Traditionally, when an optical cable experiences tight bends, some of the light can escape from the fiber core and part of the signal can be lost. Corning ClearCurve multimode fiber is designed to keep the light within the fiber core, even under tight bends, and better maintain the integrity of the optical fiber signal.
